A Puf-Un Hob.

NJ. Quad in Detroit Free Press.
We left Memphis by steamer at about
s O'Clock in the evening, and among the
deck passengers noticed a couple, man
and wife, who gaZed around as if they
had never seen steamboat before.
They had an old coffee sack with some
clothing in it, but no other baggage.
Thy moved about in timid way, and
both seemed much afraid of the water.
The boat had not gone five miles down
the river, and the large number of pas
sengers had not yet settled down, when
there was an unearthly shrek, followed
by the cry OF IMAM overbOard!" The
boat was stopped and her wheels
backed, and after two or three minutes
it was learned that one of the couple l
have mentiOned-the huSband-had
fallen overheard. The woman ''toOk
on" in the widest manner, crying and
moaning and wringing her hands, and
when asked how it happened, she
replied:
HE just dun fell over-fell Oyer-fell
overt"
By that time it was useless to think of
lowering boat. There was swift
current running, and, as the man had
not cried out, there could be no doubt of
his being drowned. Every one pitied
body took off his hat and dropped S.
bill into it, it was ''go" all
around. A hundred dollars was
raised for her in fifteen min
uteS, and she went ashore at
the first landing made by the boat, lug
ging the bag of clothes with her. /
went down as far as fernando, Miss,
and stopped off there for two days,
taking a second steamer down on the
third night from the above occurrence.
When / went down to the levee l saw a
couple with an old sack between 'em
who reminded ME of the pair Oh the
boat, and also saw them come aboard.
The resemblance aStoniShed me, but it
had to go for a coincidence.
The steamer pulled out about 10
O'Clock, and had not been under way
half an hour when there was loud
shrek, followed by the cry of MAN
OverbOardr' 1t was repetition of what
l have related before except that some
of the passengers had gone to bed, and
the shake purse didn't count up over
$40. The hat was passed to me, but |
declined to chip. The ''recent
and grief-strieilen widow left the
boat at the first landing, and 1
went to the bed with the feeling that
curious condolences were mighty thick
L
at Helena. made a three days stay, and
was ready to take another boat on the
Down trip when l ran across that self
same couple at the 1evee, waiting for the
same boat. After some minutes spent in
solemn reflection, l walked up to them
and said to the man:
''Come, now, this is square deal, and
l give nothing away. I've seen you
drowned twice, and I've seen this
widow go ashore with breaking heart
the same number of times. Tell me
how you play it and I'll give you w."
Lets see the money"
/ handed it over, and he slowed it
away in his pocket and then replied:
''I've got on a rubber life prcseryer
under my clothes, as yon see, and l
generally make shore within couple
of miles. Stranger, don't give it away.
We are poor but honest people"
/ sOlemnly agreed that wouldn't, but
think they rather mistrusted me, for
they waited over to catch a boat next
night.

such crowds used to divide up between
HobOken, Fort Lee and High Bridge and
the vicinity on Manhattan. island. At
High Bridge, easily accessible by ele-
waited roads, are plenty of natural
sources of recreation such as the people
seem to demand; and last year nature
was enhanced by saloons and beer gar
denS and games, But the excise law is
enforced on both sides of the Harlem
river on Sunday, and the Jersey shore

Why Women Stick to Their Hats

~
st. Louis Spectator.
The manager of the Olympic theater
has given up the hat reform, rs the
ladies would not remove their hats at
the rooms provided, and while few con-
siderate women wear no hats, one can
sit behind just as many monumental
and distracting hats as ever made
performance miserable. The ey-
PLANTATION of the failure is easy. Gar
rage people" will come to theater
hatless, but the great ten thousand who
find street cars their most rapid transit
adjust their hats to a L before leaving
home. They are not going to remove
have those precious hats ticketed and
Shelved, while they themselves sit in the
theater without knowing what the hair
on their head is doing. They have
exhausted their patience in their dress
ing rooms and have none for the dress
ing room attendant, while they know an
impatient man is standing outside Won
dering why they don't move lively.
That 'a good reason. There is a bet
ter way to explain why the high hat
still tiourisheS. 1t is that in the
present style of woman's dress she
can no more put on her hat with
her cOrSagee buttOned, or take it off.

SUNDAY ON THE PALISADES.
gardens at every popular resort in this
vicinity. There is a bewildering choice
of localities for those who seek some
place where drink may be bought at
fair price. but the neare t is HobOken.
1t is there that the multitudes, who are
simply thirsty and do not care to stay
long, go. A half mile back from the
water front is high bluff, continue
ton of the palisades, On top of which
are numerous beer gardens command
ing fine view of New York and open to
all breeZeS that blow. The top is reached
by horse cars that are lifted up from the
flats on big elevator. There is also a
long treStle that makes the ascent
gradually from the ferry house to the
top of the bluff. On this cable cars are
run back and forth constantly.
But these means of transportation
are not sufficient for the traf-
fic caused by the rigorous enforcement
of the Sunday laws in the metropolis.
Hundreds of men who last Sunday
Gro sed the river for no other reason
than that they were thirsty, looked at
the densely crowded horse and cable
cars and made no effort to get on. They
went short distance along the streets
of HobOken until they found a side door
open or saw the refreshment room of a
hotel. There they stopped. Many in
stances were seen during the writer's
trip along the jersey shore of men who
came over on ferry boat, ran to the
nearest saloon, gulped down drink
and rushed back to the dock in time to
return'by the same boat on which they
came. 1t makes great day for Hobo
ken, and if any of the hurrying custom
erS forget to count their change, in
order to get back to the city before they
are missed, the sai0onkeepers are care
full not to say anything about it.
The Sunday excursion trade begins
with a faint show of life about 9 o'clock.
At that hour the proprietors of resorts
have cleaned UP, laid the covers on
their tables, put on their white aprons
and pleasant smile, and dipped their
fingers end in pitch. 1t is not every
man that knows that they do this or why
they do it. 1t Is said, however, that a
nickel can no more get away from Ho-
boken saloonkeeper than camel can
enter the kingdom of heaven. The first
customers drop in as if by accident, and
until noon the trade is limited to family
parties who have come over to make a
day of it. They bring big lunches along,
select the best verandaS, and from time
to time justify their claim to their adj

musicians arrive. There is gener

with slight intermissions to recover
wind and beer, until midnight. I'm
doubtedly many of the people who visi

kpecial Letter to the Globe

bpeclal Letter to the Globe
NEW YORK, May 27.-Even before the
enforcement of the excise laws great
proportion of the population of New
York was in the habit of spending Sun
day out of town during the summer
season. Now that ninety-five per cent
of the side doors of saloons are closed,
and that no first or Second-clasS hotel
ventures to sell even its guests glass of
wine or beer with their meals, much
less over the bar, the Sabbath exodus is
greatly increased. 1t has effected Il
tremendous and unexpected boom in a
certain retail business over in Jersey,
the land of the free. Tile proprietors
OF beer gardens, rustic concert halls, re-
treatment rooms, and other sources of
entertainment and supplies were taken
by surprise few weeks ago when thou
sands of thirsty citizens came tr0Oping
over to the lovely Hoboken
shore in quest of opportunities
to spend their money. The
demand could not be supplied, and it
was so far in advance of the normal sea-
son that the proprietors dared Rot en-
gage walters and order big loads of beer
for fear the boom would not last. 1t
was not until week ago that half the
proprietors along the line from Jersey
City to Fort Lee reOpcned their places
of business. Thousands of people went
to Fort Lee, for instance, and wandered
about in the silent groves on the verge
OF the palisades, and found not one sa-
loon prepared to serve them. They had
to return to the half dozen little places
near the steam boat landing. And as
for the enterDriSing army of fakirS that
SwoOps down upon popular resorts. they
have not yet discovered that nickelS and
dimes are simply aching to be invested
IN whips and canes and ring throwing
and minor games of chance in New Jer-
Sey. 1t might be inferred from this
that the typical New Yorker
demands an opportunity to drink
in the place where he takes his Sab
bath recreation. Such is the solemn
fact. 1t needs no further demonstration
than the prevalence of saloons and beer

Is that the law requires all saloons to be
closed between the hours of and a.

leaves the time from midnight Monday
